Marcos urged to ban online gambling for turning Philippines into ‘playground for criminal activities’
MANILA – Two Filipino senators have asked President Ferdinand Marcos Jr to ban online gambling firms in the Philippines, following last week’s raid of a licensed offshore gaming operator suspected to be involved in a large-scale human trafficking scheme.rescued by local police in the compound of Xinchuang Network Technology Inc in Las Pinas City, south of the capital Manila, on June 27.
Since late 2022, senators Hontiveros and Win Gatchalian have been leading a Senate probe into cryptocurrency scam hubs in South-east Asian countries such as Cambodia and Myanmar that have been duping migrant Filipino workers to join the scams.In May, they learnt that Sun Valley Hub, a registered Pogo, was running a cryptocurrency scam hub at Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga, a province north of Manila. A free port zone official later admitted this was a “failure of intelligence”.
Once the targets fell in love with their online persona, the victims would convince the targets to invest in cryptocurrency. “Worse, Xinchuang Network Technology Inc had already been involved in criminal activities in the past. This proves that Pogos are clearly a scourge in our society and we must stop them now,” he said in a statement.Philippine police rescue more than 1,000 alleged trafficking victims, including Singaporeans
The 1,190 foreign nationals rescued during the raid remain inside Xinchuang’s compound while the police investigate their involvement in the cryptocurrency scam. Foreigners who are not tagged as suspects will be repatriated.
